The Philippine Normal University (PNU), through the Office of the Vice President for Research, Extension, and Quality Assurance (OVPREQA), has established two new offices that reinforce the University's commitment to innovation, creativity, and knowledge generation, the Creative Works Office and the Intellectual Property and Technology Transfer Office.
The creation of these offices marks a significant step in strengthening PNU's institutional support for scholarly and creative endeavors, while ensuring that the University's intellectual assets are effectively managed, protected, and translated into meaningful educational and societal impact.
The Creative Works Office (CWO) institutionalizes creativity as a core academic function of the University, in line with PNU's mandate as the National Center for Teacher Education. The Office provides a mechanism to recognize, support, protect, document, and promote creative works, affirming their value as scholarly, pedagogical, artistic, and applied outputs that contribute to knowledge creation, innovation, and community engagement.
Operating under OVPREQA, the CWO will lead initiatives on policy development, capacity building, documentation, dissemination, recognition, and monitoring of creative outputs, while working closely with the OVPREQA offices, colleges, and institutes to integrate creativity across instruction, research, extension, accreditation, and performance evaluation. The Office is headed by Dr. Zhanina U. Custodio as its Director.
Complementing this initiative is the establishment of the Intellectual Property and Technology Transfer Office (IPTTO), which serves as the University's focal office for intellectual property protection, technology transfer, commercialization, innovation management, and industry engagement. Guided by the Revised PNU Intellectual Property Policy, the IPTTO will oversee the full intellectual property lifecycle from disclosure and protection to technology transfer, commercialization, and revenue management. Through the Office, PNU seeks to maximize the educational, social, and economic value of its research, creative works, instructional innovations, educational technologies, and other intellectual assets. The IPTTO is led by Dr. Donna Marie DM. Gonong as its Director.
The establishment of the CWO and IPTTO reflects PNU's continuing pursuit of academic excellence and innovation. By strengthening institutional mechanisms for creativity and intellectual property management, the University further advances its mission of producing transformative knowledge and educational innovations that benefit both the academic community and society.
